Hillgrove Resources (ASX:HGO) has engaged specialised contractors to begin the early works activities in preparation for the restart of the Kanmantoo Copper Mine.
The company says the mine is well advanced, with all the necessary infrastructure in place, and underground development is expected to commence next quarter, with first copper sales expected to begin in early 2024.
The CEO of Hillgrove Resources, Lachlan Wallace, says: "Following the successful capital raise earlier this month, we have wasted no time in commencing work towards both the underground development at Kanmantoo to get back into production as well as mine life expansion drilling."
Mr Wallace also says the company expects to finalise supply and service contracts, and commence mobilisation over the coming weeks.
